Actually around here they've sold hundreds, if not a couple thousand P-25 rigs too. Another fun side note a friend pointed out the other day... they'll sell low-grade "encryption" for them for $8/radio that's 100% proprietary... so if you mix those radios with another manufacturer's, you can't run encrypted to each other. "High-grade" encryption (standardized by P-25 standards) is hundreds of dollars per rig. Cute trick. Hey not saying they're not pushing the other stuff too, but they'll sell anything... they're Motorola... (GRIN)... the 800 lb Gorilla is selling both P-25 and their own stuff, of course. :-) :-) :-) A rich, competitive marketplace -- that tries to work around every possible inter-manufactuerer standard ever devised... same as it ever was... -- Nate Duehr, WY0X [email protected]
